I called and was told a just needed a loom with 2 auxillary inputs and a toggle switch, to switch between the Parrot and the IPod/audio connection.
I can't find how to plug the Parrot into the loom that I was told to buy though.
What foxtrot has said is correct. You have bought the wrong cable thinking the phone runs through the AUX (which it does not). The 4 pin plug is purely power and a mute wire, the AUX is a separate input. You only need a power splitter for the 4 pin plug to allow both to be connected. Unless you wish to use the 3200 also on the AUX line which it can be used for (but you have specified you do not wish to).
